Interesting comment. I have seen some more comp-comp games with this line and none of the programs was able to show adequate compensation for Black. Thus I think the human verdict of 'sufficient compensation' might be wrong. It might be a good idea to try this out in some testgames using the best programs. Still, I must admit that I don't trust the line for Black any longer. Best regards, Jeroen Noomen
